We are having the strangest winter that my 48 years can recall.

I am hoping there are people here from other parts of the world that
can indicate what kind of winter they are having. Normal or weird?

I am about 300 miles north of you in Algoma and for the first time on
record there is no snow and the temperature is 45f. The winter resorts
that usually are busy with skidoos and skis are closed with a loss of
revenue and tourism. Some blame this on the effect of el nino but the
breaking away of the Ellesmere ice shelf shows that something big is
going on. Ice cores show that climate change can come about quickly: a
couple of winters like this and it would be time to move away from the
shore. While Ontario and the east have been having a mild winter, the
west coast and mountains have been clobbered. Perhaps others will have
reports of unusual weather.

So far, Seattle has had record storms and record cold. Record snow in the
mountains around Seattle.
